HSE & Sustainability
The firm’s latest analysis puts the bulk of the blame on a fragmented supply chain.
Sustainable energy continues to grow as a focus for reliable, affordable, and secure energy as seen from the past year of papers reviewed for this feature. Three primary areas are being reported on heavily: carbon use for enhanced oil recovery, geological hydrogen discovery, and critical minerals from the subsurface.
This study aims to systematically assess casing integrity and corrosion risks associated with CO2 injection in oil-recovery operations.

This work investigates a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to acidification for sheen control. -
The authors of this paper discuss how intelligent completions in the Gulf of Mexico have allowed for increased production, reduction in operating expenses, enhanced overall reservoir recovery, and improved safety and environmental performance.
-
This paper presents the operator’s learnings in evaluating the routine of a floating production, storage, and offloading asset crew to identify scenarios for the application of robotics in day-to-day offshore activities.
-
The paper aims to address the challenges and opportunities in managing produced water and its contaminants in the petroleum industry.
-
This paper describes the development of guidelines to determine the most suitable corrosion-resistant alloys for downhole injection equipment in wells for carbon capture and storage and carbon capture, use, and storage.
-
This paper examines how data-science-driven work practices can result in substantial reductions in methane emissions compared with other leak-detection and -repair methods.
-
The industry no longer considers the water as only a logistical problem. Now, it is a front-and-center component of any life-cycle planning.
-
This paper examines the economics of carbon capture, usage, and storage projects, either standalone or in conjunction with large offshore gas projects, in Denmark, Indonesia, and Australia.
-
At SPE’s Permian Basin Energy Conference, operators shared behind-the-scenes details on innovations such as drilling horseshoe wells and trimulfrac completions along with in-basin challenges such as handling produced water.
-
DNV has certified the feasibility of ADNOC’s West Aquifer carbon dioxide storage site in the UAE, marking a significant milestone in the Middle East’s carbon capture and storage efforts.
